Not likely to find reverse torx in a generic kit. Reverse torx sockets look like the head of a torx screw. The reverse torx bolt that it fits on looks like the end of your torx screwdriver. They're pretty rare. Saabs have them on the head bolts.
Basically, if you don't have a torx screw to look at, a reverse torx socket looks like a six-sided socket with curved sides that are convex towards the center of the socket, so that there are narrow slots where the curved sides meet. In any case, they're not 12-sided.
Also, note that 12-point sockets are not designed to work on 4-sided carriage bolts. The angles would have to be 90 degrees for a carriage bolt. They are not; they are all 120-degree angles. 12-point sockets are strictly for ease of use on standard hex-head bolts. Use 'em at your own risk.
